Hello all, Has anyone in the list successfully tried allowing ordinary users to open privileged (< 1024) ports? We have a solaris 8 on sparc machine running an (java) application that normally uses ports > 1024; however a client requested the application to use privileged ports instead. This resulted in the application failing to start as the port that the application was trying to bind to was < 1024. I've looked for methods/workarounds to allow this but have so far come up empty. I would appreciate any experiences or links that the list could point me to. Thank you very much and best regards. Randy
